Lin Ze was not to be blamed for being nosy, there were some things that must be prevented beforehand.

Although Lin Ze did not know much about Zhang Goutou, from everyone’s descriptions, he could tell that this guy was definitely a generous second-rate scoundrel.

As the saying goes, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the tough, and the tough fear the unscrupulous. The most difficult to deal with were those shameless and reckless thugs.

Zhang Goutou did not even care about his own mother and son, showing what kind of scoundrel he was. Once he invited Grandma Zhang to work, when Zhang Goutou was desperate, he would definitely come and cause trouble. So, they must find a way to deal with this properly.

There were many ways for Lin Ze to deal with such a person, but the premise was to get through Grandma Zhang first. Otherwise, the situation of good intentions turning into enemies was not uncommon.*

*he’s gonna teach Goutou a tough lesson, but he’s grandma Zhang’s son, so she might resent LZ if he doesn’t ask her opinion first.

Upon hearing Lin Ze’s words, Grandma Zhang also showed a bitter expression. She knew best what kind of person her son was.

Over the years, that scoundrel had caused great suffering to her and her descendants. He had caused trouble for his own son for most of his life. She was also clear that her son was not reliable. Now that she finally had such a good job, she could not let that scoundrel ruin it.

With this in mind, Grandma Zhang gritted her teeth and said, “Mr. Lin, rest assured, I have given up on that scoundrel. If he dares to offend Mr. Lin in the future, please don’t show any mercy.” It would be best to just kill him and have peace for everyone.

She did not say the last sentence out loud, but it was her innermost thought. Having such an unreliable son was really tough. It would be a good thing if he died cleanly, so she would not have to leave her grandson with such a father after she was gone.

Lin Ze was waiting for this statement. He smiled and said, “Since grandma says so, then I can rest assured.”

With Grandma Zhang’s assurance, Lin Ze was relieved about hiring her for the job.

After all, Grandma Zhang was indeed a good choice. If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Ze did not want to change personnel. It was not easy to encounter the opportunity to hire someone who provided double the value for the same price.

Moreover, regarding Zhang Goutou, Lin Ze had a sudden idea and some other plans.

These hooligans may not have other skills, but they were familiar with the area, which was a big advantage. For Lin Ze, who was short of manpower, this was a good opportunity to recruit followers.

In his eyes, there were no truly useless employees in this world, only leaders who did not know how to use people.

After discussing the details of the work and wages with Grandma Zhang, and confirming that she would come to help with household chores for the time being and then go to the private school after it opened, Lin Ze asked Grandma Zhang to write a list of Zhang Goutou’s “brothers” for him.

What’s the list for? Of course, it was to investigate their backgrounds. Knowing oneself and the enemy could ensure victory in a hundred battles.

Grandma Zhang did not know what Lin Ze was thinking. She thought Lin Ze wanted a list of people to reconcile with her son, to help her and her grandson get out of trouble. She was grateful and determined to work hard in the future.

Especially for her grandson, she must make sure he works diligently. If she were to die one day, with Lin Ze’s kindness, if her grandson listened obediently and worked hard, he would surely provide a safe place for her grandson. Then she could die peacefully.
